And yet we continue to
leave trails
and
impressions
and
our words
and
thoughts
linger . . .
and collect
more and more
associations
with time
And we who confuse
beauty
with
purpose
imagine
that
these
over
laid
threads
of varied
contradictory meanings
connecting us to
where we have been
and where we are
going
stand
help us under
one
another
better
And begin to fill in the dots of . . .
who we are . . .
And begin to fill in the dots of . . .
who we are . . .
